TTT

This season any IU Ladies big ten win is not an off night for this team.

Maybe, the officials have no bets on this game and will call good clean game.

T. Moren is like most all coaches wanting to recruit the very best. However, the very best have to want to come to IU. That for a large part is just not happening. Especially, more elite centers and more elite players to surround the post position. Don’t know why? When elite players are offered by IU there is a thank you and IU is dropped fairly early. Sometimes IU makes a top 12 or even top 5 player list of colleges but IU chances % was or is very slim. T. Moren was able to ride some select players trying to keep them healthy to its current state of success. Nothing is showing any change really and things have just gotten much tougher. Very few if hardly any elite players are interested enough to come to IU after being recruited by IU. They choose other schools. There could be a number of reasons but just don’t understand or know why.

Paige Bueckers down with injury again.

Not so fast with fire the coach reality. Indiana may have enough physicality to peak with march madness sweet 16. And since so many teams are selected to be in the tournament nowadays unlike when it used to be half as many or less teams selected for tournament that could be a possibility. In recent years no one else has done any better.

Is Woody up yet?

This could be said about any sport. Yes it is hard for officials to make correct calls 100%. However, referring to women college basketball only in its growth popularity and its current status….Has there been any investigation/s of officiating controlling a game trying to cover betting point spreads…or not cover point spreads….or who wins vs who loses (meaning yes, of officials betting on games)? The amount of money they make vs point spread betting would increase pay. A conspiracy maybe, maybe not.

See where his strategy is high school decommits and spring transfer portal. Maybe, he utilizes his cell phone (great opportunities for those who might have a 20+ point night) and coach reads it and offers the guy a job to play for IU….in his developmental player program.

Is Indiana men’s basketball actively recruiting or buying any players for the future upon retirement or job changes of current players. Does coach have enough players already to last him until retirement? Or is that just an off season activity now?

Not a good call but a great call!

Refs kept IU Ladies in check for first half especially including effecting IU Ladies shooting rhythm confidence. IU partially due to UCLA defense could not make 3s and missed open 3s.

Yardon Garzon ball handling, going to the basket, strength and scoring in traffic is improving.

At end of 3 UCLA very focused but at least 75% of 50/50 with a few just bad calls going against IU allowing UCLA being physical but not allowing IU to be as physical. ON IU HOME COURT. and yes things are a little easier for UCLA

Another terrible foul call against Parrish followed by air ball. Refs continue to keep IU in check.

And it continues. IU works hard but UCLA comfortably cruising.

Early in game three or four50/50 foul or no foul calls all went against IU. It helped UCLA check IU Ladies shooting confidence.

Waiting for a little UCLA fatigue and IU rebound and run make shots

Ironically, as far as contract circumstances go ZERO percent is coach Woodson’s fault. It’s just another example of an individual taking what is given to him or her.

IU Ladies can definitely win this game.

Does anyone think coach loses any sleep over IU men’s basketball? He purchased a C-Pap machine with all the bling and sleeps right through it.

See what happens: long flight but deep talent, UCLA winning last couple at home, and after hard work by Indiana in their play, does UCLA just come down and make shots? Plus does UCLA use IU crowd to energize themselves or not?

UCLA coach C. Close…being up 7 after 3 quarters and 16 point win vs Michigan at home gives her team warning to play harder at Indiana or they will lose (15 turnovers vs Michigan). (One player Jones=three 3 pointers in 4th)

Ballo out = IU loss. Ballo in = IU loss. Pick em…a reason (excuse).

BLING

I assume everyone realizes that coach Woodson and staff feel like they are doing a distinguished job with the Indiana basketball program. Just ask them. They continue to work to get better all the time (not everyday but occasionally), increasing NIL money, more of a brotherhood, coaching staff and players are richer, they feel they have raised the level of IU men’s basketball program to untold heights because you don’t know what you don’t know.
